There is a widely held point of view that the singer’s solo work has become favorably different in its drama, emotional component and intrigue not only from her own previous works, but also from the majority of the musical material that has captured the pinnacle of domestic show business.

The future artist was born on April 2, 1989 in the Ukrainian Sverdlovsk, Voroshilovgrad region (now Lugansk region). Her father Igor Mikhailovich is an entrepreneur, her mother Svetlana Aleksandrovna is a housewife. The singer has an older brother Oleg, who works in the field of information security. 
WITH early age She was interested in and seriously studied dancing, developing plasticity and grace. But when their family moved to Kyiv in 2001, she did not find a suitable dance school and, on the advice of her father, a former musician, she began to attend a vocal studio and learn to sing. Then she worked part-time in an audio studio, recording children's songs, CDs with which were included in magazines for children.
After graduating from school, she became a student at the Faculty of Variety Arts at the Kyiv Variety and Circus Academy, but interrupted her studies without receiving a full higher education.
IN student years she met and became friends with a member of the duet “Potap and Nastya” Anastasia Kamenskikh, with whom she later continued to be friends.
Working at a recording studio on a permanent basis, the girl sang backing vocals and performed in show ballet. At different times, she was a member of the pop group Lucky, a ballet dancer at The Best, and worked as a TV presenter for the infotainment program “Guten Morgen” on channel M1.

In 2009, a girl who had long dreamed of getting into show business managed to audition for the Star Factory music competition (Ukrainian version), the producer of which was Konstantin Meladze himself. According to her, a friend who was an administrator of a reality show helped her bypass the line of hundreds of applicants. As a result, she ended up in the “Star House” and took the name Eva and her mother’s maiden name, Bushmina, as her stage name.Casting for "Star Factory-3". Eva Bushmina (2009)
